Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates generally to networks of embedded devices and in particular to real-time data processing of data streams transmitted by networks of embedded devices.
- The Internet of Things (“IoT”) is the network of physical objects or “things” embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity, which enables these objects to collect and exchange data. The IoT allows objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure, creating opportunities for more direct integration between the physical world and computer-based systems, and resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit. Here, each “thing” is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system but is also able to interoperate within the existing Internet infrastructure. These devices collect useful data and then autonomously flow the data between other devices. However, as the number of “things” continue to increase, it has become further time consuming to load the data in real-time data processing, especially when having to access external file storage or databases frequently. Thus, the increase in the number of “things” has resulted in a decrease in the efficiency of real-time data processing.
- A computer-implemented method includes receiving a data stream. The computer-implemented method further includes dividing the data stream into one or more data artefacts.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of a computer system environment suitable for operation in accordance with at least one embodiment of the invention. Within acomputer system 100, acontext dependency program 101 may receive adata stream 102. Thedata stream 102 may includeraw data 103 from a network of physical objects or “things” embedded with electronics, software, and sensors, generically “embedded devices.” More specifically, “things” can refer to a wide variety of devices such as heart monitoring implants, biochip transponders on farm animals, electric clams in coastal water, automobiles with built-in sensors, or transformers in the energy industry. Thecontext dependency program 101 may further divide thedata stream 102 into one ormore data artefacts 104 that include processed data. Each of the one ormore data artefacts 104 are for one or more time intervals. - The
context dependency program 101 may further generate one ormore contexts 105. Each of the one ormore contexts 105 are for at least one of the one or more time intervals. Context may be understood as any information that can characterize the situation of an entity. An entity may be a person, place or object that is considered relevant to the interaction between a user and an application, including the user and applications themselves, and by extension, the environment the user and applications are embedded in (though, it should be understood that the context is not intended to include users, people, or other naturally occurring phenomena, in themselves). Examples of contexts include location, time, proximity, user status, device status and network capabilities. - The
context dependency program 101 may further store each of the one ormore data artefacts 104 in a sharedstorage 106. The sharedstorage 106 may be accessible for each of the one ormore contexts 105. Thecontext dependency program 101 may further, for eachcontext 105 of the one ormore contexts 105, determine adependency 107 for thecontext 105. Thedependency 107 includes those of the one ormore data artefacts 104 that are for those of the one or more time intervals that thecontext 105 is for. More specifically, one ormore data artefacts 104 may be used for acontext 105 for multiple time intervals. - The
context dependency program 101 may further, for eachcontext 105 of the one ormore contexts 105, monitor thecontext 105 for a completion of thedependency 107. Completion of thedependency 107 may exist when aresult 108 is yielded from analysis of the one ormore data artefacts 104 for acontext 105 for a given time interval. Here, theresult 108 may be the transformation of the one ormore data artefacts 104 into knowledge or high-level information. - For example, knowledge or high-level information may be valuable in a health monitoring application, such as a hypertension detection device. In this example, the
context 105 would be hypertension and thedata artefacts 104 may include systolic blood pressure (“SBP”), diastolic blood pressure (“DBP”), and heart rate (“HR”). More specifically, for a given sex, weight, and age, thecontext 105 for hypertension may be average SBP over 5 minutes: >130 mm Hg), average DBP over 5 minutes: >95 mm Hg, and average HR over 5 minutes: >90 bpm. Furthermore, there may be adata artefact 104 for “SBP,” “DBP,” and “HR,” respectively. In order to determine if hypertension exists, thecontext dependency program 101 may store the “SBP,” “DBP,” and “HR”data artefacts 104 in a sharedstorage 106 for the time interval 0 to 5 minutes. Thecontext dependency 101 may monitor thecontext 105 for completion of analysis of the “SBP”data artefact 104, “DBP”data artefact 104, and “HR”data artefact 104. Completion of thecontext 105 may exist when aresult 108 is yielded from the analysis of thedependency 107. Thus, a result of an average of (“SBP:” 142 mm Hg, “DBP:” 97 mm Hg, “HR:” 112 bpm) over the time interval 0 to 5 minutes may indicate that hypertension is occurring. - The
context dependency program 101 may further, for eachcontext 105 of the one ormore contexts 105, responsive to the completion, release thedependency 107. Thecontext dependency program 101 may further remove those of the one ormore data artefacts 104 that do not belong to thedependency 107 for any of the one ormore contexts 105. Here, once thedependency 107 is released, thecontext dependency program 101 has determined that one ormore data artefacts 104 stored in the sharedstorage 106 are no longer needed for analysis by the one ormore contexts 105 for subsequent time intervals. In order to increase the efficiency of the real-time data processing for the remaining one ormore contexts 105, the one ormore data artefacts 104 that are no longer dependent by the one ormore contexts 105 may be removed from the sharedstorage 106 by thecontext dependency program 101. -
FIG. 2 is a flow chart diagram depicting the context dependency program in accordance with at least one embodiment of the invention. According to the depicted embodiment, atstep 200, thecontext dependency program 101 may receive adata stream 102. Thedata stream 102 may includeraw data 103 from one or more embedded devices. Thecontext dependency program 101 may receive adata stream 102 from one or more remotely located embedded devices by any generally known messaging protocols, including, but not limited to MQTT, Advanced Messaging Queuing Protocol, IETF Constrained Application Protocol, and XMPP. - For example, the
data stream 102 may be generated by a wireless sensor network (WSN) located within an electrical transformer. A WSN includes spatially distributed autonomous sensors which monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, and pressure. The WSN is built of “nodes,” where each node is connected to one or more sensors. Typically, each sensor network node has several parts, including a radio transceiver with an internal antenna or connection to an external antenna, a microcontroller, an electronic circuit for interfacing with the sensors, and an energy source (e.g. a battery or embedded form of energy harvesting). In many applications, a WSN may communicate with a Local Area Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN) through a gateway, which acts as a bridge between the WSN and another network. More specifically, thecontext dependency program 101 may exist in a cloud-based, virtual, or distributed environment or a remote environment on defined server hardware, or, more generally, thecontext dependency program 101 may exist in any type of environment suitable for data streaming. - At
step 201, thecontext dependency program 101 may divide thedata stream 102 into one ormore data artefacts 104. The one ormore data artefacts 104 may include processed data. Previously, atstep 200, thecontext dependency program 101 may receiveraw data 103 lacking any organization or order. Since streaming data is an analytic computing platform that is focused on speed, applications such as thecontext dependency program 101 require a continuous stream of often unstructured data to be processed. However, atstep 201, the context dependency program may 101 may clean or process the unstructuredraw data 103 into structured data in the form of one ormore data artefacts 104. Here, each of the one ormore data artefacts 104 may include data transmitted by an individual sensor in a device, a group of sensors in a network of devices, or more generally by one or more devices by any known transmission methods. The data artefacts may be formed based on a predetermined data storage capacity or a delineated time period. Furthermore, each of the one ormore data artefacts 104 may be utilized for at least one or more time intervals. - At
step 202, thecontext dependency program 101 may generate one ormore contexts 105. Each of the one ormore contexts 105 may be utilized for at least one of the one or more time intervals. Context may be defined as any information that can be used to characterize the situation of an entity, such as a person, place or object. In one scenario, thecontext dependency program 101 may generate one ormore contexts 105 for an electrical transformer to determine an “average value of load.” Here, thecontext dependency program 101 may generate a context for “average value of load” for one or more 5 minute time intervals. For example, thecontext dependency program 101 may generate acontext 105 for “average value of load” for time 0 to 5 minutes. Thecontext dependency program 101 may further generate acontext 105 for “average value of load” for time 5 to 10 minutes. Thecontext dependency program 101 may further generate acontext 105 for “average value of load” for time 10 to 15 minutes. - At
step 203, thecontext dependency program 101 may store each of the one ormore data artefacts 104 in a sharedstorage 106. The sharedstorage 106 may be accessed by a single or multiple processors. The sharedstorage 106 may be in the form of distributed shared memory, where a distributed memory system consists of multiple independent processing nodes with local memory modules connected by a general interconnection network. More specifically, the sharedstorage 106 may be a cloud-based, virtual, or distributed environment or a remote environment on defined server hardware. - At
step 204, for eachcontext 105 of the one ormore contexts 105, thecontext dependency program 101 may determine adependency 107 for thecontext 105. More specifically, thedependency 107 may include those of the one ormore data artefacts 104 that are for those of the one or more time intervals that thecontext 105 is for. Atstep 205, for eachcontext 105 of the one ormore contexts 105, thecontext dependency program 101 may monitor thecontext 105 for a completion of thedependency 107. In some embodiments, analysis of thedependency 107 may be performed by a general purpose analytics engine. In other embodiments, analysis of thedependency 107 may be performed by an analytics engine that operates on a model tailored to analyzing contexts, such as IBM® Watson®. Completion of thedependency 107 may exist when aresult 108 is yielded from analysis of the one ormore data artefacts 104 for acontext 105 for a given time interval. Here, theresult 108 may be the transformation of the one ormore data artefacts 104 into knowledge or high-level information. - High-level information may be recognized as an understanding and ability to make use of
raw data 103 to answer questions, solve problems, and make decisions. For example, payroll data may be coupled with other cost data, sales data, and consumer data to produce information about which products are most profitable. This collection of raw data may then be processed into reports that facilitate management decisions. In another example, high-level information may be the collection of raw sensor data which then may be processed to determine whether the average value of load for a transformer exceeds 2,000 KVA (kilovolt-ampere, a unit of apparent power) within a 5 minute time interval. - Upon completion of analysis of the
dependency 107, thecontext dependency program 101 may execute a real-time action trigger based on theresult 108 yielded from analyzing the one ormore data artefacts 104 for acontext 105. For example, a real-time action trigger may be a pre-built action, such as displaying text (e.g. a push-up notification or SMS message) to a device, such as a desktop computer or mobile device. In another example, a real-time action trigger may be real-time integration of theresult 108 within the device for which the analysis was performed for (e.g. a transformer in the energy industry). In yet another example, a real-time action trigger may be real-time visualization of theresult 108. - At
step 206, for eachcontext 105 of the one ormore contexts 105, thecontext dependency program 101 may release thedependency 107. Thecontext dependency program 101 may release thedependency 107 when adata artefact 104 is no longer needed to be analyzed for acontext 105 for one or more time intervals. Atstep 207, thecontext dependency program 101 may remove those of the one ormore data artefacts 104 that do not belong to thedependency 107 for any of the one ormore contexts 105. Here, the one ormore data artefacts 104 may be removed by erasing or deleting memory from the sharedstorage 106. -
FIG. 3 is a flow chart diagram for a portion of a worked example of operational steps in accordance with at least one embodiment of the invention. InFIG. 3 , thedependency 107 of one ormore data artefacts 104 for those of the one or more time intervals that thecontext 105 is for can be seen. For example, each cylinder may represent adata artefact 104 consisting of data transmitted from sensors located throughout an electrical transformer. Furthermore, eachcontext - In this example, the
first context 310 may be “the average value of load exceeds 2,200 KVA” for time interval 0 to 5 minutes, thesecond context 320 may be “the average value of load exceeds 2,000 KVA” for time interval 5 to 10 minutes, thethird context 330 may be “the average value of load exceeds 1,800 KVA” for time interval 10 minutes to 15 minutes, thefourth context 340 may be “the average value of load exceeds 1,700 KVA” for time interval 15 to 20 minutes. - For the
first context 310, thecontext dependency program 101 may determine adependency 107 for thecontext 310 consisting of the data artefacts 311-315. Thecontext dependency program 101 may further monitor thefirst context 310 for completion of analysis of the data artefacts 311-315. Here, completion of thefirst context 310 may yield aresult 108 in the form of an average value of load of 2,150 KVA for time interval 0 to 5 minutes. Since data artefacts 311-314 are only dependent for thefirst context 310, thecontext dependency program 101 may release thedependency 107 of data artefacts 311-314 for thefirst context 310 upon completion of analyzing thefirst context 310. Thecontext dependency program 101 may further remove the data artefacts 311-314 from the sharedstorage 106. However, since thesecond context 320 is dependent on thedata artefact 315, thecontext dependency program 101 may not release thedependency 107 ofdata artefact 315. - For the
second context 320, thecontext dependency program 101 may determine adependency 107 for thecontext 320 consisting ofdata artefacts 315 and 321-323. Thecontext dependency program 101 may further monitor thesecond context 320 for completion of analysis ofdata artefacts 315 and 321-323. Here, completion of thesecond context 320 may yield aresult 108 in the form of an average value of load of 2,050 KVA for time interval 5 to 10 minutes. Since thedata artefact 321 is only dependent for thesecond context 320, thecontext dependency program 101 may release thedependency 107 of the data artefact 321 for thesecond context 320 upon completion of analyzing thesecond context 320. Thecontext dependency program 101 may further remove thedata artefacts 321 from the sharedstorage 106. - However, since the
third context 330 is dependent on thedata artefact 322 and thefourth context 340 is dependent on thedata artefact 323, thecontext dependency program 101 may not release thedependency 107 of the data artefact 322 for thethird context 330 and thedependency 107 of the data artefact 323 for thefourth context 340. Thus, only upon completion of analysis of thedata artefacts 322 and 331-334 for thethird context 330 for time interval 10 to 15 minutes may thedependency 107 of data artefact 322 be released and subsequently removed from the sharedstorage 106. Likewise, only upon completion of analysis of thedata artefacts fourth context 340 for time interval 15 to 20 minutes may thedependency 107 of the data artefact 323 be released and subsequently removed from the sharedstorage 106. -

Many modifications to the depicted environment may be made. - As depicted, the
computer 400 operates over acommunications fabric 402, which provides communications between the computer processor(s) 404,memory 406,persistent storage 408,communications unit 412, and input/output (I/O) interface(s) 414. Thecommunications fabric 402 may be implemented with any architecture suitable for passing data or control information between the processors 404 (e.g. microprocessors, communications processors, and network processors), thememory 406, theexternal devices 420, and any other hardware components within a system. For example, thecommunications fabric 402 may be implemented with one or more buses. - The
memory 406 andpersistent storage 408 are computer readable storage media. In the depicted embodiment, thememory 406 comprises a random access memory (RAM) 416 and acache 418. In general, thememory 406 may comprise any suitable volatile or non-volatile one or more computer readable storage media. - Program instructions for the
context dependency program 101 may be stored in thepersistent storage 408, or more generally, any computer readable storage media, for execution by one or more of therespective computer processors 404 via one or more memories of thememory 406. Thepersistent storage 408 may be a magnetic hard disk drive, a solid state disk drive, a semiconductor storage device, read-only memory (ROM), electronically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), flash memory, or any other computer readable storage media that is capable of storing program instructions or digital information. - The media used by the
persistent storage 408 may also be removable. For example, a removable hard drive may be used forpersistent storage 408. Other examples include optical and magnetic disks, thumb drives, and smart cards that are inserted into a drive for transfer onto another computer readable storage medium that is also part of thepersistent storage 408. - The
communications unit 412, in these examples, provides for communications with other data processing systems or devices. In these examples, thecommunications unit 412 may comprise one or more network interface cards. Thecommunications unit 412 may provide communications through the use of either or both physical and wireless communications links. In the context of some embodiments of the present invention, the source of the source of the various input data may be physically remote to thecomputer 400 such that the input data may be received and the output similarly transmitted via thecommunications unit 412. - The I/O interface(s) 414 allow for input and output of data with other devices that may operate in conjunction with the
computer 400. For example, the I/O interface 414 may provide a connection to theexternal devices 420, which may be as a keyboard, keypad, a touch screen, or other suitable input devices.External devices 420 may also include portable computer readable storage media, for example thumb drives, portable optical or magnetic disks, and memory cards. Software and data used to practice embodiments of the present invention may be stored on such portable computer readable storage media and may be loaded onto thepersistent storage 408 via the I/O interface(s) 414. The I/O interface(s) 414 may similarly connect to a display 422. The display 422 provides a mechanism to display data to a user and may be, for example, a computer monitor. - The present invention may be a system, a method, and/or a computer program product. The computer program product may include a computer readable storage medium (or media) having computer readable program instructions thereon for causing a processor to carry out aspects of the present invention.
- The computer readable storage medium can be a tangible device that can retain and store instructions for use by an instruction execution device.

A computer readable storage medium, as used herein, is not to be construed as being transitory signals per se, such as radio waves or other freely propagating electromagnetic waves, electromagnetic waves propagating through a waveguide or other transmission media (e.g., light pulses passing through a fiber-optic cable), or electrical signals transmitted through a wire.
- Computer readable program instructions described herein can be downloaded to respective computing/processing devices from a computer readable storage medium or to an external computer or external storage device via a network, for example, the Internet, a local area network, a wide area network and/or a wireless network. The network may comprise copper transmission cables, optical transmission fibers, wireless transmission, routers, firewalls, switches, gateway computers and/or edge servers. A network adapter card or network interface in each computing/processing device receives computer readable program instructions from the network and forwards the computer readable program instructions for storage in a computer readable storage medium within the respective computing/processing device.
- Computer readable program instructions for carrying out operations of the present invention may be assembler instructions, instruction-set-architecture (ISA) instructions, machine instructions, machine dependent instructions, microcode, firmware instructions, state-setting data, or either source code or object code written in any combination of one or more programming languages, including an object oriented programming language such as Smalltalk, C++ or the like, and conventional procedural programming languages, such as the “C” programming language or similar programming languages. The computer readable program instructions may execute entirely on the user's computer, partly on the user's computer, as a stand-alone software package, partly on the user's computer and partly on a remote computer or entirely on the remote computer or server. In the latter scenario, the remote computer may be connected to the user's computer through any type of network, including a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN), or the connection may be made to an external computer (for example, through the Internet using an Internet Service Provider).
