The device object information in the device object storage 2 or the modification device object M2. In the information providing system according to the present invention, the real world entity entity is divided into the use of the user and the user. The device wherein the user is the target of receiving the service is a medium for providing services to the user. The service providing system according to the present invention establishes a user object # for each user, and creates a device object for each physical device. The user object is defined, for example, as having the following data item user object.....Basic information----personal device (pD) physiological characteristics (pc) social relationship (SC) ·_authorization information preference information 11 1307049 Each user object includes information related to the user, such as basic information of the user, 'authorization information and preference information, etc. Basic information includes: the user has Some personal device (PD) identification information; the user's physiological characteristics (PC) information; the user's social relationship (s C) information, etc. The personal device is used to describe a use in the real world. The terminology of a device owned by a person such as an employee's badge, credit card, mobile phone, PDA, etc. The identification information of the device, such as the employee's badge number, credit card number, is stored under the personal data. The mobile phone number 'PDA card number, etc.. But not limited to the above example, the identification information can be used to make the system uniquely identify the personal device. The physiological characteristic information of the user is, for example, the user's fingerprint, voiceprint, iris image, Facial features, etc. The user's social relationship information includes the user himself, the user's family members, colleagues, friends, etc., such as their names. Store in the authorization information to indicate the user's resources in an environment. Usage rights and usage levels. For example, for a company, the system can grant access to the company’s employees. Permissions for all available resources, and for visitors to deny access to the company's available resources. In the user object, the authorization information is optional. In the preference information, the user's request to accept the service or use the device is stored. For example, which physical device is preferred to receive audio information; which physical device cannot be used to accept services, requests for certain services, etc. 12 1307049 In the above information, the basic information is usually static information. Authorization information and preferences The information is usually dynamic information. The device object is for example defined as having the following items: device object - basic settings - edge - access interface

Each device object includes information related to the device, such as basic setting information, status information, access interface information, and the like. It should be emphasized here that for physical devices that are not owned by a certain user, such as cameras, printers, copiers, etc. installed in the building's regional network, they will also be built for them. Because these devices can still be used by users as a public device. The present invention will create a device object for each physical device.

The basic setup information includes device identification number, type, model, display capability, processing capability, function description, and other information related to the basic settings of the device. The basic setup information is generally static information, that is, it does not generally change after it is logged into the system. The status information includes the usage status of the device, such as whether the device is currently online or not. The status information is generally dynamic information, which may change depending on the usage or movement of the device. Therefore, the usage status information of the device may be: offline; online. 13 130704.9 Access interface information includes a description of the access method of the device, such as its communication protocol and so on. The user information management program according to the present invention will be described below with reference to Fig. 3.

The user's login can be done in a variety of ways, such as manual login or automatic login or a combination of the two. In the manual login mode, the user sends his or her own information to the user manager 200 through the existing communication network. In addition, in order to collect user information as comprehensively as possible, the user manager 200 of the present invention can provide a login screen to the user, prompting the user to log in. Of course, in the manual login mode, the user's information can also be provided to the user manager 200 by a certain network of the user, such as a system administrator of the regional network.

In the case of automatic login, the user manager 200 can download information related to the user from one or more networks in which the user is located. Automatic login usually occurs when the user enters a temporary environment, the environment can automatically detect the presence of the user, and obtain information related to the user through the user's dedicated device, thereby serving the user. Automatic login in a mobile environment. The information associated with the user can be a dedicated device that exists to the user or a network link. An agent device, which will be described later, will assist the present invention in achieving automatic registration of user information. 14 1307049 For a certain information re-management manager 200 that will change as described above, periodically and automatically collect and use the user manager message, extract information for its personal device (PD); Information, etc., according to the pieces. The following will be combined with the steps in Figure 3 for related information. In step S302, the user. When it is determined that the step S304 is made. In step S304, the description user object is used to establish the usage for the user in step S308, and the object is stored in the user user, and the user only needs to perform the "login work". When the information needs to be changed, it is sent to the user manager 2, or new information from one or more users who use the user from time to time. The information related to the data item of the user object is described according to the received login information of the user; the information related to the physiological characteristic (pc) relationship (sc); the authorization information; A user object 3 is constructed for the user to describe the operating program of the user manager 200. 1 S300 'User Manager 200 receives the user who determines whether the user who sent the information is the logged-in user is not logged in, and proceeds to step User Manager 2 to intercept the received information. Information needed. The user manager 2 is based on the intercepted information object. The newly created user object store 2 0 2 is used by the user manager 200. 15 1307049 In the operation of > Xiao Xitong, the pre-information item is in the sub-package of the message 208, for example, the system 204, 5 of which the new mobile phone is installed, and the system of the mobile phone device 204. In step S310' of the apparatus, the user manager 2 will upload the new user to the 24 alpha correlation devices 208, and perform subsequent processing. The association will be described later. When it is determined in step S302 that the user is the logged-in user, the process proceeds to step S312, and the user manager 200 is based on the corresponding step S314' user manager newly stored in the user object storage 2 〇2. 2. The subsequent processing of the user information notification device 208' will be described later. Update this. Associated device

There are two possible situations when logging in. For a static pen watch machine, a fixed-position device such as a fixed telephone can be used, that is, when connected to the network, the device administrator can log the device information to the physical device management record. The network device is provided by the physical device manager 2 04 from the J network of these devices. For dynamic devices, such as users, laptops, etc., can be put into use in the device, ^ j such as open; when the road is used by the server of the network where it is located, the re-cutting of the steam, the ugly record to the official 204. It is known to those skilled in the art that it is also possible to log in to the physical device camp by the network administrator or server where the device is located when the device is newly purchased:

An agent device, which will be described later, will assist the present invention in achieving automatic login. 16 1307049 The entity message, from which the information message is set to the device 0, the device manager 202 extracts the basic 'state resource' access element needed to describe the data item of the device object according to the received login resource. s information and so on, and construct a device object based on these assets. The information relating to the operation of the physical rupture manager 2〇4 in step S400 of Fig. 4 will be described in conjunction with Fig. 4. The physical device manager 2〇4 receives and sets. =Step S 4 0 2 'When it is determined whether the device transmitting the information is the registered field and the device is not registered, the front '4' is in step S404, and the device is cautious # & iu > The received information carries the information required for each item of the assembly.: The step is just started by the physical device manager 204 to establish the device object according to the message.

In step S408, the object is stored in the device. In step S4 1 0, the message notifies the associated device that the job will be later described by the physical device manager 204 to newly create the device storage 206. The physical device manager 204 will newly install and record this 2〇8' for subsequent processing. Related equipment Xia 2 〇 § 〇

When it is confirmed in step S402 that the device is the registered device, /S4, the device information stored in the device object storage unit 2〇6 is stored by the physical device manager 2〇4 according to the received asset. Advance to update 17 1307049 In step S4 1 4, the entity device manager 204 notifies the associated device 2 0 8 that the device information has been updated, and performs subsequent processing. The operation of the association device 208 will be described later.

Since the information for describing the device object includes dynamic information that needs to be updated at any time, such as status information, even if the dynamic information of the device is changed through the monitoring discovery device after the device is logged in, the above change of the device is reflected to The physical device manager 2 04 modifies the entity device object information that has been logged in by the physical device manager 220 to keep the latest device state at all times. Such monitoring, for example, monitors the status signal of the physical device by a dedicated monitoring device, and notifies the physical device manager 204 of the change of status when the state of the physical device changes, thereby updating the status information. . The monitoring device can for example be acted upon by a server of the network in which the physical device is located.

An agent device in accordance with the present invention will now be described. The proxy device can be detachably attached to various physical devices in the form of an attachment, and broadcasts basic information such as functions and states of these physical devices and access methods, or receives information broadcast by other physical devices through the proxy device. Figure 5 is a block diagram showing the structure of the proxy device. As shown in FIG. 5, the proxy device includes a processing unit 500, an interface 502, a transceiver unit 504, and a storage unit 506. The processing unit 500 is responsible for the overall control of the proxy device, and interacts with the host device 508 through a standard interface 502 when needed, and obtains information related to the device from the main assembly 18 1307049, such as the basic settings of the device. Information, status information, access interface information, and more. Preferably, when the primary device 500 is a personal device of a user, information about the user is also obtained from the primary device 508. The basic setting information of the device includes, for example, the identification number, type, model, display capability, processing capability, function introduction, and the like of the main device, and information related to the basic settings of the device.

The status information of the device includes the usage status of the main device, such as whether the device is currently online or not. The access interface information includes a description of the access method of the device, such as its communication protocol and the like. Therefore, the information acquired by the processing unit 500 includes static information, such as basic setting information of the main device, access interface information, and the like, and dynamic information, such as status information of the main device.

The standard interface 502 can employ any known hardware and/or software that can interact and communicate with the host device and/or a combination thereof. For example, the standard interface 502 can be an RS-232 interface, a parallel interface, or a wireless interface, such as a wireless interface using Bluetooth or infrared technology. However, the standard interface 502 is not required. It is also possible to input information related to the main device 508 to the agent device through an input device (not shown) in advance. 19 1307049 Processing Computational Capabilities The ability to store temporary or static data is not available. But the model and identification. However, there are other information that can be used with additional proxy devices. 510 or I will be described later. For example, the sensor unit 500 can be a processor of any type known with arithmetic logic. From the perspective of cost savings, processors such as low CPUs can be used. Unit 506 permanently stores the funds of master device 508 acquired by processing unit 500. For example, the storage unit 5〇6 can permanently save the acquired information while temporarily storing the acquired dynamic information. The unit 504 transfers the funds of the main device 5〇8 acquired by the processing unit 500. For static information, the transceiver unit can only broadcast once according to the situation that the main installation is logged into the system, and for the dynamic to broadcast the changed dynamic information once it changes, it should be noted that the main device is used for identification. The parameters, such as the identification information, are device information that must be broadcast to identify the parameters that are used to identify the primary device. The parameters are not limited to the above examples, and the parameters of the primary device can also be identified. The transceiver 70 504 may also have a receiving function that will receive information from other broadcasted other master devices and further process the receiving line. This processing will be described later. The information broadcast by the transmitting unit 504 is received by another proxy device 51 having a broadcast function. The transceiver unit 504 can be any known wireless sensor for wireless sensing Bluetooth or infrared technology, and the like. The same hangings are usually mutually aware of each other. For example, using Bluetooth

20 1307049's wireless sensor is capable of sensing information broadcast by other Bluetooth sensors using Bluetooth technology over a range of distances, and vice versa. An agent device having such a wireless sensor structure is particularly suitable for broadcasting information of a host device or a user in a mobile environment to be grasped by the system. Alternatively, for a device having a fixed location, an agent device can be loaded to broadcast the information of the fixture.

Preferably, the transceiver unit 504 can be any combination of various known wireless sensors. For example, the transceiver unit 504 is a combination of a wireless sensor using Bluetooth and a wireless sensor using infrared technology. In this way, an agent device can simultaneously collect or broadcast information using different sensing technologies, thereby expanding the functionality of the proxy device. Preferably, the proxy device according to the present invention may further have a power supply system, so that the proxy device can work even when the master device is in the off state, and proxy the main device to which it is connected to broadcast the information of the master device to the outside or Perceive other devices.

Additionally, the proxy device of the present invention may also be in the form of a record tag that can be perceived by other devices, such as a bar code tag that records information about the device or user attached to the agent device. Thereby the information is collected by other collection devices. In the present invention, the proxy device can be attached to any of the primary devices to assist the system in collecting information about the primary device. The present invention provides a way to collect information of a device by using a proxy device. 21 1307049 Figure 6 shows a schematic diagram of device information collection using a proxy device in a centralized collection mode. In this manner, each of the devices 1 to N is attached with a proxy device as shown in Fig. 5. The device information collecting means 510 collects broadcast information broadcast by those agent devices located within its wireless sensing range. Thus, the device information collecting device 5 10 and the device 1 to the device N constitute a sensor network for collecting device information.

Further, in the centralized collection mode, the function of the device information collecting device 510 can also be placed on the side of the physical device manager 204. Figure 7 shows a flow chart for collecting device information in a centralized collection mode. The following describes the procedure for collecting device information by using the device 1 as an example. First, in step S700, when the device 1 enters the information collection range of the device information collecting device 5 10, the device information collecting device 5 10 collects the device information broadcast by the device 1 through its own proxy device 100.

In step S702, the device information collecting means 510 transmits the collected information of the device to the physical device manager 204. In step S704, the physical device manager 220 performs the creation or modification of the device object in accordance with the execution of Fig. 4. Fig. 8 is a view showing the collection of device information using the proxy device in the collection mode of the present invention. In this manner, instead of collecting the information of each physical device by a device information collecting device 510, the agent device of a specific physical device collects other physical device information within its sensing range. The collection of device information 22 1307049 is achieved by device information transfer between the agent devices. This approach is particularly useful for information gathering in a relatively closed mobile environment, such as a mobile environment consisting of mobile devices carried by employees working at the company. In this manner, there are one or more proxy devices capable of notifying the physical device manager 204 of the information it has collected. In the example shown in Fig. 8, the proxy device of the setting device 1 has the above-described notification function. Fig. 9 is a flow chart showing the collection of device information in the collection mode of the present invention. First, in step S900, the proxy device of one device receives the information broadcasted from the other proxy devices. Then, in step S902, the proxy device determines whether or not it is capable of communicating with the physical device manager 206. The determination is made, for example, by sending an inquiry to the physical device manager 204 and receiving a response therefrom, or by pre-storing the relevant access parameters of the relative physical device manager 204 in the storage unit of the proxy device and by querying the access parameter. . When it is determined that the communication with the physical device manager 204 is not possible, in step S904, the proxy device broadcasts the received broadcast information and/or its own identification information through the transceiver unit, adjacent thereto. The proxy device receives. When it is determined that the physical device manager 204 can communicate with the physical device manager 204, the proxy device transmits the received wide 23 1307049 broadcast information and/or its own identification information to the physical device management through the transceiver unit in step S906. 204 ° Other agent devices perform the same job. In this way, the device information of all the devices 1 to N in Fig. 8 is notified to the physical device manager 206 through the proxy device of the device 1. Then, the physical device manager 204 performs the processing shown in FIG. Thus, devices 1 through N of Figure 8 form a sensor network to collect device information.

It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the above two approaches can be used separately or in combination to inform the physical device manager 204 of the system of device information. For example, when used in combination, the device information of all devices 1 to N can be reported to the device information collecting device 510 capable of rewriting the device 1 through the device 1, and the device information collecting device 510 can further The device information of N and the device information of the received other devices are reported to the physical device information manager 204.

The above-mentioned proxy devices applied to physical devices and the two methods of device information collection through these proxy devices are equally applicable to user information collection. In the case of application to user information collection, the user device can be carried with the agent device. In this case, the user's basic information or change information is stored in advance in the proxy device for later login or modification. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the user's information can also be stored in a proxy device that is an accessory to the user's personal device, such that the proxy device broadcasts information about the user's personal device while 24 1307049 Broadcasting user information. In addition, the user's information can also be broadcasted by the personal device that the user carries with him by the proxy device attached to the device. Any form in which the user or device information is broadcasted or collected by the agent device of the present invention is within the scope of the present invention.

It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that for user and device information collected by the User Manager 200 and the Physical Device Manager 206, in addition to the information described above, there may be other Information, as long as these other information is needed to establish a perceptual network and virtual device as described below.

The procedure for collecting user information and device information is described in detail above. In order to find a user for a device that is available and valid when the user receives the service. Sometimes environmental information is also very important. For example, when a user is currently working in a laboratory, having the system know the various device information in the laboratory environment is of practical significance for providing a richer service to the user. For example, when the user is in the mobile office environment, it is effective to provide a user with a device resource that can be utilized in each mobile environment, and has a very effective reference for providing the user with a service more suitable for the mobile environment. Accordingly, the present invention further provides a static environment information management device 3 and a dynamic environment information management device 4 for collecting environmental information, so that the system can collect available devices for the user based on the environmental information. As shown in Fig. 2, the static environment information management device 3 includes a static environment information manager 20 1 and a static environment information storage 203. 25 1307049 Static Environment Information Manager 2 0 1 From the existing information network, such as the company's regional network, to know the location information of various static devices in the company, such as printers, scanners, computers that are not easy to move, landlines, etc. Device identification information. And store them in the static environment information store 203. Of course, the static environment information manager 210 can also collect static information from other sources, for example, through a sensor network formed by the proxy device attached to each static device provided by the present invention.

The structure of the static environment information item includes, for example: space range - subspace range 1 ... device AID; device Α specific location (optional) ... - device B ID; device B specific location (optional) ... Subspace range 2

...device CID; device C specific location (optional)... - device DID; device D specific location (optional)... wherein the spatial extent is, for example, the building in which the company is located; the subspace range is, for example Each room within the company is divided; the device ID is a device ID located within each subspace. Through the static environment information manager 102, the system can grasp the spatial position of the static devices in the system. 26 1307049 When the network static device network has the required notification, the contextual associates in Figure 10 show the flow chart of the collection of static environment information. First, in step S1 0 0 0, the static environment information manager 2 接收 1 receives environmental information about the device from an external area such as a company's regional network, the company's telephone network, or the like. Alternatively, the agent of the present invention may be attached to the static devices to transmit a ringing of the static device to the static environment information manager 20 1 through the sensing path formed by the proxy device. At step S1 002, it is judged whether or not the received environment relating to the static device has been collected. When it is judged that it has not been collected, in step S1004, information for forming a static is intercepted from the environmental information of the received static device. The new associated device 208 will be collected at step S1 008 ' at step S 1 006 '. The association is installed in step S1002, and it is judged that the still is updated in step S1 0 1 0 ' based on the received message.

Environmental Information Static device information is stored. The static environment information message 208 is further processed. Static device information has been collected static device information on the static ring

Split 2〇8. Further processing is performed by the associated device 2〇8. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the above operations can be triggered when the static device is moved to a new location. 27 1307049

Due to the increasing popularity of mobile devices, in addition to the above static environment information, a large amount of dynamic environment information including mobile devices and/or user information is included. Environmental information is also generally dynamic. When real-world devices or networks observe changes in their surroundings, they will notify the system to update their “observed” environmental information. For example, a camera has the ability to visually observe the surrounding environment, so the environmental information captured by the camera will vary over time. For example, a fingerprint reader has the ability to sense who touched it, so the environmental information intercepted by the fingerprint reader will vary over time and from user changes. In addition, a known network that can tell the user's location is also an example of such an ability to intercept environmental information. For example, when an employee enters a room by using his own badge, the building's attendance system obtains the employee's badge. Information can tell where the employee is currently located.

In the present invention, a device or network having the ability to perceive environmental changes is referred to as a dynamic environment information interception network. This kind of environmental change usually refers to the change brought by the online physical device or user entering or leaving a dynamic environment information interception network. The dynamic environment information interception network includes but is not limited to: wireless networks such as GSM, CDMA, GP S positioning system, Bluetooth device, device or system with auditory function, device or system with visual function, and data for intercepting human physiological characteristics. A device or system; a sensor network formed by a proxy device, and the like. 28 1307049 The present invention achieves management of dynamic environmental information by providing a dynamic environment information management device 4. As shown in Fig. 2, the dynamic environment information management 妒筚^_, straight 4 includes a dynamic environment information interception network manager 2〇5 and a dynamic environment asset cache 207. The dynamic ring $intelligence interception network manager 205 receives changes in the environment sensed by the network from the various dynamic environment information interception networks described above, and stores the changes in the dynamic environment information store 2〇7. In the present invention, since the dynamic environment information can be received from a plurality of dynamic environment information intercepting networks, preferably, in the dynamic environment information storage 207, a storage area is configured for each dynamic environment information intercepting network to store the Dynamic environment information of the network. For a dynamic environment information interception network capable of determining the location of a mobile device or a user, such as a wireless network such as GSM or CDMA; a GPS positioning system; and an attendance system installed in the company, the structure of the dynamic environment information item includes, for example: Spatial range - subspace range 1 - mobile device A ID; mobile device A specific location (optional). · · • mobile device B ID; mobile device b specific location (selective... user A ID; user A specific location (optional) 29 1307049 - subspace range 2 - mobile device C ID; mobile device C specific location (optional) · _ - mobile device D ID; mobile device D specific location (selective )..--Mobile user B ID; mobile user B specific location (optional)

Here, the spatial extent is, for example, a building in which a company is located; the subspace range is, for example, each room divided within the company; the mobile device ID is a mobile device ID that moves between the subspaces.

However, it is not possible to determine the location of the mobile device or the user, but can intercept the spatial relationship of the mobile device, or the spatial relationship of the user, or the dynamic environment information interception network of the user and the device, for example, camera monitoring installed inside the company. The system, the sensor network formed by the proxy device provided by the present invention, and the like, the structure of the dynamic environment information item includes, for example:

-- Dynamic environment information interception network ID -- the ID information of the mobile device or user intercepted or its mapping information, and so on. 30 1307049 exemplification of the underlying dynamics of the first 5 10 摄影 该 该 装 装 装 装 该 该 该 该 该 该 该 该 该 该 ΐ ΐ ΐ ΐ ΐ 接收 ΐ 接收 接收 接收 接收 接收 接收 接收 ΐ ΐ ΐ ΐ ΐ ΐ ΐ ΐ ΐ ΐ ΐ ΐ ΐ The information item may have a charter ID, a stand-by % ', and the physiological characteristics of those users intercepted. The process of collecting dynamic environment information by the network of the proxy device provided by the present invention will be described in detail. Referring to Fig. 1 1 , a device 1 is taken as an example to describe a flow chart of the collection process of the environmental information in the centralized mode of Fig. 6. First, at step S11, when the device! When the device information collection device is in the collection range, the device information collection device 51 stores the device information broadcast by the own agent device i 00. Step S11 02, the device information collecting device 51 sends the ID information to the dynamic environment information intercepting network manager 2〇5 according to the collected ID information. Step S1104: The dynamic environment information interception network manager stores the device i in the dynamic environment information storage 2 〇7 as sensing by the information collecting device 5 10 and the device 丨~mj A 1 N In the memory space of the network. In step S1106, the dynamic environment information goes to the Beckham loading network manager 205 to search for the stored content in the memory space, and the ancient β & satisfies the record of the ID of the device 1. In this way, the dynamic environment information is guaranteed to maintain the dynamic environment information. The step SU08' dynamic environment information receives the message that the network information has been changed to notify the processing after the associated device 5. Manager 205 will move. Associated device 5

31 1307049 In this way, the system can grasp the case of the mobile device that has the information collecting device 5i〇μ ^. When the related operation is performed, the /TJ 〇 is described below with reference to Fig. 12 to describe the environment in Fig. 8. Flow chart of the dynamic greed collection procedure. : First, at step S 1 200', the proxy device of one device receives the information broadcasted from the other proxy device. In step S2022, the proxy device makes a mapping of the received other device and its own host device ID. Then, in step S1 204, the Xiao proxy device determines whether it can communicate with the dynamic environment information interception network manager 2. 5, that is, whether it has a notification function. The determination is made, for example, by sending (5) a response to the dynamic environment information interception network management 205 and receiving a response therefrom, or by pre-storing the relative dynamic environment information in the storage unit of the proxy device to intercept the relevant access parameters of the network manager 205. get on. When it is judged that the communication cannot be intercepted with the embarrassing environment information, in the step - the proxy device::: the mapping table and the ID of the main device attached thereto are broadcasted, and are received by the adjacent proxy device. . Its neighboring proxy device will also make a mapping table 'this mapping table will include the mapping relationship between the adjacent device (1) and the camera' and the ID of the device and the other device's ι〇 The mapping relationship S i will be able to understand that the above mapping relationship may include a multi-layer mapping according to the number of times the mapping table is delivered. 32 1307049, when it is determined that the communication can be performed with the dynamic environment information intercepting network manager 205, the proxy device sends the generated mapping information to the dynamic environment through the transceiver unit in step S1 2 0 0 The information interception network manager 205.

In step S1 2 0 9, the dynamic environment information interception network manager 205 determines whether it is necessary to update the maintained dynamic environment information based on the received mapping table information. When it is judged that it is unnecessary, the processing is ended. Otherwise proceed to step S 1 2 1 0. In step S1 2 1 0, the dynamic environment information interception network manager 205 updates the mapping relationship in the sensor network storage space constituted by the device 1-Ν based on the received mapping table information. In step S1 2 1 2, the dynamic environment information interception network manager 250 searches for the stored content in the other memory space, and deletes the record having the ID of the opposite device. Thus, it is ensured that the dynamic environment information management device 4 is always able to maintain the latest dynamic environment information.

At step S1 2 1 4, the dynamic environment information interception network manager 205 notifies the associated device 5 of the message that the dynamic environment information has changed. The subsequent processing is performed by the associating device 5. In this way, the system can grasp the relationship between the mobile devices currently perceived by the device 1 for later use in associated operations. Those skilled in the art will be able to understand that the above two methods can be used separately or in combination to intercept the information about the relationship between the network manager 20 and the device to the dynamic environment information of the system. For example, when 33 1307049 is used in combination, the device relationship information of all devices 1 to N can be reported to the device information collecting device 510 capable of rewriting the device 1 through the device 1, and further, the device information collecting device 5 1 0 The device relationship information of the devices 1 to N and other dynamic environment information are reported to the dynamic environment information interception network manager 205 °

It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the above-described operations of Figures 11 and 12 can also be used to collect mappings between users in a mobile environment, thereby moving the user and the mobile device. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the above-described operations of Figures 11 and 12 can also be used to collect the mapping between devices and users in a static environment, thereby collecting various static and dynamic environments. The relationship between the device and/or the user. Intercepting environmental information through the use of proxy-based environmental information interception networks provides a quick and convenient way to collect as much information as possible on device and user information.

Other dynamic environment information intercepting the network to the dynamic environment information intercepting the network manager 2 0 5 The program for transmitting the dynamic environment information is similar to the program described in the above FIG. The difference is that instead of using the device information collecting device 5 10 , the server of the network is intercepted by the dynamic environment information (in the case where the network is a separate sensing device, the sensing device itself is regarded as A server) sends the intercepted dynamic environment information to the dynamic environment information interception network manager 205. The dynamic environment information is also different according to the dynamic environment information intercepting the network, for example, may be the physiological characteristic information of the user. This processing procedure is shown in Figure 13. 34 1307049 In step S1300, the dynamic environment information interception network manager 205 receives the dynamic environment information intercepted by the network from a dynamic environment interception network. In step S1 3 0 2, the dynamic environment information interception network manager 205 determines whether the dynamic environment information stored in the dynamic environment information storage unit 207 needs to be updated. When it is judged that it is unnecessary, the processing is ended. Otherwise proceed to step S 1 3 0 4 .

In step S1 3 0 4, the dynamic environment information interception network manager 205 updates the information in the corresponding memory space according to the received dynamic environment information. In step S1 3 0 6, the dynamic environment information intercepting network manager 205 searches for the stored content in the other memory space, and deletes the user object or device object information related to the dynamic environment information. Thus, the dynamic environment information management device 4 is always able to maintain the latest dynamic environment information.

In step S1 3 0 8, the dynamic environment information interception network manager 205 notifies the associated device 5 that the dynamic environment information has changed. The subsequent processing is performed by the associating device 5. As will be understood from the following description, the static environmental information and dynamic environmental information collected by the present invention serve as a bridge for establishing correlations between users in the real world and more available devices. The collection and processing of environmental information is described above. An operation for associating a user object with one or more available device items is described below. 0 35 1307049 The associated device 2〇8 in FIG. 2 uses #%% to correct the user object storage 202. The storage unit is configured to set up a user object of the communication device and a device such as a friend and a friend or a device stored in the device object storage 206. connection relation. And if necessary, the related operation is performed based on the environmental information provided by the static environment information management device 3 and the dynamic environment information management device 4. The following three ways of establishing an association relationship according to the present invention will be described in detail by establishing a relationship between a user object and an item through a personal device (PD). As described above, the device (PD) of each user object in the user object storage unit 2 is stored with the personal device owned by the user device. The device object storage 206 stores the device object information. Therefore, the associating device 208 matches the type and identification number of the personal device under the personal device data item of the user object with the type and identification number under the basic information resources of each device object, and finds that it has the same content as the user object. Information device object that establishes an association between the user object and the item. For example, a user A in the real world has a personal device • a mobile phone X with Bluetooth capability. Since in the virtual world, the user object A1 established for the user A and the hardphone item XI established for the mobile phone X both include the type and phone number of the mobile phone X, the association device 208 can recognize the use. The object A1 and the line 36 1307049 of the mobile phone object XI have the same type of phone and phone number information to associate the user object A1 with the line and the subscription phone item XI. Although the above uses the personal installation, the type of the device and the identification information to identify the association, but it can also be used to identify the personal device under the basic information item of the device. , Beixun enters the association, as long as it is consistent with the user and the personal device.

In order to reduce the associated workload, the associated device 208 of the present invention may also

The transition job is performed before the associated job, and some of the aggregates are filtered out according to certain conditions, so that the devices are no longer operated when the associated work is performed. For example, the device science that expresses the status information as "offline" has gone out because the devices are currently π 1 and do not have the ability to work. But this step is not necessary. According to the above related manner, the associating device 208 of the present invention can close a user object and related device objects through personal device identification information.

The user object 第 in Fig. 14 and the mobile phone device object A belonging to the user are associated in the first manner. S The second way is to establish a relationship between the user object and the device object using the physiological characteristic data. ~ As described above, when a user logs in, the user manager 200 will put his physiological characteristic information under the physiological data item of his user object. 37 1307049 And the perpetrator's life can be taken from the network to take the network device 207, so the physiological special environment resources or multiple phase-taking networks) to establish the association, for example, through the association of the upper environmental information For example, a mobile phone is associated with the dynamic environment of the line. According to the network, the dynamic environment information interception network in Figure 14 can also intercept and sense the feature information. For example, the face image of the user intercepting the network constituted by the camera device' is intercepted by the sound intercepting device to intercept the user's voice characteristics. And as described above, the intercepted dynamic environment information is stored in the dynamic environment information storage association device 208 to collect the data of the physiological characteristic data item of the user object, and the dynamic environment information storage device stores the stored motion. Performing one or more device objects (or truncation, which is found between the user object and the corresponding device object) in accordance with 'there is a device that finds the same physiological characteristic information as the user object. User object A and camera device object c are associated with the second way. Based on the two association methods, edge J can also be read to use user object A and more by using static or dynamic environment information. When the associated device 208 establishes the associated mobile phone device object A' as the bridge information to establish the user object and, for example, the mobile phone device object A stored in the dynamic environment information, the user After the object A and the associated device 208 can also be combined with the collected static/more placed objects between the devices 2〇7 stored in the GSM company Meeting 38 1307049 in the room; and in the static environment information storage 202 stored in the meeting room also has a printer resource, the associated device 2 0 8 according to the information in the user object and the printer Resources are related.

The right side of Figure 14 shows an example of using environment information to create more associations for user objects. The associated device 208 is based on the dynamic environment information collected from the interception network of the proxy device containing the mobile phone device object A', with the user's mobile phone device object A' as a bridge, the user object A and the mobile phone The device D intercepted by the proxy device is located, and the device D' is associated with the device F'. The right side of Figure 15 shows an example of using context information to create more associations for user objects. The association device 208 is based on the dynamic environment information collected from the interception network where the proxy device of the camera device object C' is located, with the camera device object C' as a bridge, the user object A and the camera device object C' The interception network intercepting device H', the device Γ and the device 所在 where the proxy device is located are associated.

The third way to associate is to establish a relationship between the user object and the device object through the social relationship data. As described above, when the user logs in, if possible, the user manager 200 will put his social relationship information under the social relationship data item of his user object. Figure 16 shows a schematic diagram of the association between a user object and a device object through a social relationship data item. 39 1307049 For example, if the associated device 2〇8 has established an association relationship with some device objects 'such as device objects K', L, and . If the user A and the user B have certain social relationships, the related information is established by the user under the social relationship data of the user A object, and the relationship between the user A and the viewer is established, and further An association relationship is established between those device objects K, and Lm that are associated with the user 8.

When the user device and the device object are associated with each other, the association device 208 can use any combination of the above three methods or use it alone. The present invention provides a flexible association 2 for the establishment of associations through the operation of the associated device 2〇8 to establish an association relationship with one or more available device objects for a user object.

It should be noted that the association between the association device 2〇8 and the one or more available device objects may also change for the user object. For example, when a new device object is created, the associated device 2 关联 8 associates the new device object with the corresponding user object. When the static/dynamic environment information changes, the associated device reconstructs or modifies the association relationship of the corresponding user object according to the changed environmental information. Any effect that may provoke the association between the user object and the device object will trigger the associated device 208 to reconstruct or modify the association of the corresponding user object. Therefore, the associated device 2〇8 always maintains the correlation between the latest user object and the available device object. 40 1307049 The associated device 2 0 stores each user object and one or more device objects associated with the user object as a perceptual network entity, stored in the perceptual network storage 210. The first 7A-1 7C shows the associated job processing program of the associated device.

In step S1 7 0 0, the associating device 208 performs monitoring to determine whether a login or change notification is received from the user manager 200 or the physical device manager 204 and whether it is from the static/dynamic environment information manager 2 0 1 . 2 0 5 Received an environmental information change notification. When the result of the judgment is that no notification has been received, the associating device 2 0 8 continues the monitoring.

When it is judged that the notification is received from the user manager 2000, the process proceeds to step S1 702, where it is determined whether the notification is a login notification or a change notification. When the result of the determination is the login notification, the process proceeds to step S1 704, where the association device 208 uses the above three association methods or a combination thereof to perform the association operation for the newly logged user object. Please note that when the related work is performed, some device objects may be discarded according to the user preference information stored in the user object, such as the preference information of the device rejected by the user, according to the user's Customize to select device resources available to the user. Further, when the related operation is performed, the device object whose status is "offline" can be discarded, for example, based on the status information of the device object. In addition, certain device objects 41 1307049 may be further discarded based on authorization information, such as user access rights to certain devices, when performing associated operations. Thereby the associated device object is actually a device item available to the user object. In step S1 706, the user object, and the device object associated with the user object, are stored as a perceptual network entity in the perceptual network storage 210. Optionally, the new aware network established message is still notified to the virtual device management device 6 in step S178, for subsequent work.

When it is determined in step S1 702 that it is a change job, the process proceeds to step S1 7 1 0, and the associated device notifies the virtual device management device 6 of the message that the user object information has been changed. According to the content of the change, it is judged whether it is necessary to update the existing relationship. This determination can be made, for example, based on whether the user preference information and/or the authorization information change. When it is determined that the update is necessary, the process proceeds to step S1 7 1 2, and the related operation is performed based on the user object change content. Otherwise, the process ends.

In step S1 71, the corresponding perceptual network stored in the perceptual network storage 210 is updated with the associated job result. Optionally, in step S1 7 15 , the virtual device management device 6 is notified of the message that the network has been changed, and the subsequent work is performed. When it is determined in step S1 700 that it is the notification from the physical device manager 204, the process proceeds to step S1 71, and it is judged whether the notification is the device registration notification or the device information change notification. When the result of the determination is the login notification, the process proceeds to step S1 7 1 8 to perform an associated job for the newly registered device. The above three 42 1307049 associations or their industries are employed by the association device 208. Please note that in the user object of the incoming connection, the device is discarded, so that the device object can be discarded according to the time available for a certain user, and the available components of the user object are combined into the newly registered device association. At the time of the work, the cast user prefers the device resources determined by the user's order. Further, the status information of the object is placed to cause the associated device object. The association of the objects can also be based on the information to be closed, whether the device object can be used for the associated operation, and the status is "offline object is actually made & the newly registered device object and corresponding After the user objects are associated, step S172G updates the corresponding perceived network content stored in the sensing network storage 21A using the associated job results.

J

Alternatively, in step S1 722, the virtual device management device 6 is notified of the message that the network has been changed, and the subsequent work is performed. When it is determined in step S1 716 that it is a change job, the process proceeds to step S1 724' to notify the virtual device of the message that the device object information has been changed.

The device 6' determines whether it is necessary to update the existing association based on the changed content. Preferably, when the state of the device changes, for example, from the on-line state to the off-line state, or from the off-line state to the on-line state, it is determined that the update is necessary. When it is determined that the update is necessary, the process proceeds to step S1 726, and the association operation is performed based on the device object change content. Otherwise the process ends. At step S1 728, the corresponding aware network stored in the aware network storage 210 is updated with the associated job results. 43 l3〇7〇49 informs the virtual device management that the changed message i, 'the changed message i' is entered by the user, and judges and operates in step S1700. When the notification is from the static device 2〇5, 207, the & A sorrow environment information management 进 proceeds to step S74n. According to the changed environmental information A m & , the associated device 208 sees the corresponding one or Multiple associated jobs. The user object proceeds in step W with the corresponding one or more perceptions in the associated job result store 210. Optionally, in step 31 744, a network of perceptions has been changed. The message informs the virtual device management device 6, industry. It will be understood by those skilled in the art after the book is made that the above-described operation of notifying the virtual device management device 6 is not necessary. Through the associated work, a user object is searched for available device object resources' and stored as a perceptual network entity, so that the device information available to users in the real world can be instantly grasped. Through the above description, the present invention provides a method for forming a sensing network and oscillating 'by collecting real-world devices, users, and environmental information, and searching for available device resources for users based on collected information. It provides the basis for resource sharing and equipment for collaborative work. 44 1307049 When a user in the real world actively requests a service, or when a service provider actively requests to provide a service to a user _ Beixun, the virtual device manager of the present invention, Xia should use Create a virtual device execution environment. A virtual device acts as a service interface between the user and the service provider. The virtual device will be charged with a synthetic knife 1 of the physical device currently available to the user.

Therefore, when the service provider delivers the service information to the user, 4 interacts with the virtual device. And the user sends the service provider to the virtual device to transfer the virtual device to the user: the device performs coordinated management to provide the user with the user's service requirements and/or device. Ability to serve.

It has been described above in the present invention that by establishing information collection and association processing 'establishing a perceptual network for a user object in a virtual world', the perceptual network includes the user object and device objects available to the user object. Information. The & can be regarded as the usable device object established by the present invention for a user object. Therefore, the available device object data of the virtual device will be used as the virtual device when describing the virtual device. inexpensive. ^日十贝卄厍 However, the library of available device objects of the virtual device can also be obtained through its t-c, , and not limited to the sensing network of the present invention. For example, the library of available device objects can be obtained from other prior art techniques that provide information about the physical devices currently available to the user. Thus, the available device object database used by the virtual device of the present invention is not limited to the above-described perceptual network. The perceptual network is only one example of a virtual device reusable device object database. The processing of the virtual device manager device 6 will be described in detail below. < The virtual device manager device 6 of the present invention generates a virtual device for each user object served by the sensing network s. The appropriate service is provided for the user object based on the virtual device. As shown in Fig. 18, the virtual device includes a service processing device negotiation device 18G2, a control device 18〇4, a parent device 18〇6, a service reconfiguration device 18〇8, and an interface device 1810. The control device 1804 is for coordinating the operations of the devices constituting the virtual device and forwarding the information. The interface device 1810 is in interaction with the sensing network generating device, and the interaction between the virtual device and the sensing device generating device is performed through the interface device 181. In addition, the user interface device 181A interacts with the virtual device. The monitoring device 1 8 06 is responsible for interacting with the sensing network generating device, and the network performs % control to grasp the instant composition of the sensing network. Negotiation device 1 8 02 is responsible for interacting with the service provider and selecting the most appropriate type of service based on the perception. When the user accepts a specific service, the service processing device is responsible for the information interaction between the user and the service provider. The service information reconfiguration device 18〇8 determines, according to the type of service of the negotiation device 18〇2, the device object/device object required for the service to generate 1 800 of the 3 pieces of information used by the service device, and the other information pieces of the service information are transmitted through the pair. The group 46 1307049 that is aware of the network setting 1 800 determines that the information sent by the service processing device 1 800 to the user object is configured to the relative device object 'and when the device object combination is determined' is also responsible for coordinating each Work between the objects of the device. The operation of each of the above devices will be described in detail below. First, in conjunction with FIG. 19, when a user object transmits a service request through a device object in the sensing network, the virtual attack is a process of selecting a service type of the user object and a device object/device object combination. First, in step S1 900, the interface device 181 receives a service request sent by the user object from a device object in the sensing network, and the interface device 1 8 10 forwards the service request to the control device 108, the control device丨8 〇4 forwards the service request to the negotiation device 1 8〇2, and notifies the monitoring device 1806 of the service request event. In response to receiving the service request event in step S1 902 ', the monitoring device 186 obtains the available device information and/or user object information from the sensing network of the user object through the interface device 181. Then, the acquired device object information is sent to the negotiation device 1828 through the control & 4 1 8 〇4. In step S1904, in response to receiving the service request, the negotiating device 1810 sends the service request to the corresponding service provider, requesting the service provider to provide the service type information of the service satisfying the service request and the device object capability requirement under each service type. News. The type of service is, for example, one or more levels of service that the service provider can provide for a service request. The device capability requirement information is, for example, the device capability required under a certain service type. 47 1307049, in response to the service type and the presentity item capability request information received from the service provider, the negotiation device 1802, based on the device object information and/or user object information received from the monitoring device 1 806, from the service provider, in step S1906. A service type that selects the ability to adapt to the available device object from the provided service type 'Notify the service provider of the selected service type' and the device capability requirement information corresponding to the service type is transmitted through the control device 1804 It is sent to the service information reconfiguration device 1808.

Alternatively, the service type can be determined in the above selection procedure by referring to the user's personal subscription requirements.

For example, in step S1 906, according to the monitoring device 1 806, the currently available device object is further filtered from the user object or by querying the user's user's favorite information about the device receiving the service. The preference information is, for example, what physical device the user prefers to use to receive the video service, what device to use to accept the audio service, and the like. Then, based on the filtered basic information of the device object, a service type that adapts to the ability of the filtered available device object is selected from the service types provided by the service provider. Alternatively, the negotiation device 1802 may pre-select those service types that are adapted to the capabilities of the available device objects from a plurality of service types provided by the service provider, and determine a service type by querying the user object' or by reference. For example, the user's preference information in the user object's preference information further determines the service type. 48 1307049 Figure 20 illustrates another process in which a virtual device selects a service type for a user object and a device object/device object combination when the user object transmits a service request through the device object in the sensing network. In the known mode, the operations of steps 82〇0〇 and 82〇〇2 and steps sl9〇〇 and S1902 are the same, and therefore the description thereof will be omitted.
